Fox Outdoor Men's Vietnam Junglemilitary-and-tactical-boots

I bought these for my son for Christmas. He loves them and feels they are very comfortable and durable. Great value.

Great but the leather seemed to shead a layer and now is sort of mat black but apart form that great first photo is out the box second photo is now

Having tried another brand previously I didn't expect much. But with the "try before you buy" option I figured "why not". If they were junk, I'd get quite a bit of enjoyment sending them back & writing a nasty review. First thing, I put my hand inside to feel the inside seams. They were all flat & smooth as they should be. Next, I put one on. Just like my issue boots, they fit well enough to not require going to the hospital while "breaking them in." I wear a 10-10.5 wide. Of course those weren't available so I ordered 11R. Once again, nothing to lose right? Nailed it! They fit perfect. I was issued the early Vietnam boots so the soles were different but the later style isn't a deal breaker. The only "flaw" I could find (and I tried really hard to find some.) was they weren't laced properly. They started out OK then somehow got messed up. A thirty second fix and all is well. I live on a ranch now so these will be put to the test. If they hold up a fraction as well as my original military boots, I'll stock up with several more pairs. So far, I'm very happy!

Working well

I gave these an overall 5 Star rating not because they are the best boots ever, but because they are what they were supposed to be. Although compared to the original GI boots from the Vietnam era, they are 150%+ better. They are combat boots and unfortunately for quite some time the military didn't seem to care much about a soldier's feet(poor policy imo). Meaning you shouldn't be expecting super comfortable modern footwear. That said, they are much better than I was expecting. If you have ever tried on the real ones at a surplus store in the day, they were usually very narrow (if they made wide ones I never found any), stiff, and usually had a bunch of pokey things by the toes and around the ankles. These are rather flexible and I haven't experienced and pokeiness as of yet. I have only had them a few days. But I have worn them a lot to break them in. I walked in wet grass a lot and worked in the garden in them with now adverse effects. My feet remained dry as well. I like the sole better too. It is much more grippy. If you liked these boots in the original form, you will like these for sure. The materials are different, but better by default due to modern materials and manufacturing methods. I normally wear a Size #10.5-11 on average. I got a Size #10 Wide and it fits well with room for big socks if need be. Ok that about covers it. Good day!
